Description:
------------
Some special characters, Symbols, and Latin-1 chararacters. 
Are 
missing from get_html_translation_table
(HTML_ENTITIES,ENT_QUOTES)

The xhtml Special character lsquo and rsquo (left and right 
single quote are missing for instance). And a lot of 
entities from the W3C provided xhtml-symbol.ent, xhtml-
special.ent, and xhtml-lat1.ent files are missing.

You can download these files from http://www.w3.org/TR/
xhtml1/dtds.html

It also seems strange how all of this was implemented 
considering there are three files of entities. There really 
should be 3 separate functions for converting these 
characters to their entity equivalents as well as one 
function that will convert all entities.

Reproduce code:
---------------
print('<pre>'.print_r(get_html_translation_table
(HTML_ENTITIES,ENT_QUOTES),1).'</pre>');

/*:NOTE: then compare to the contents of the entity files located at http://www.w3.org/TR/
xhtml1/dtds.html*/

Expected result:
----------------
Should have every known entity, and divisions between what 
type of entity it is.

Actual result:
--------------
Is missing a lot of entities like &rsquo; from xhtml-
special.ent

Ran into this problem while trying to generate an xml document using the DomDocument object.  The DomDocument->saveXML gives an error when certain characters within the document, specially the right-single-quotation (U+2019) and several other characters.  An attempt to convert the entities to HTML using htmlentities failed because the characters are not in the html_translation_table.

This is still a problem in PHP 5.2.5 on both my Linux and OS X 10.5 platforms.

In my case the problematic character was "ff", which crashed DOMDocument::saveXML() with error "xmlEscapeEntities:char out of range"

This seems to be fixed as of PHP 5.4.0[1], or are some entities
still missing?

That shouldn't be an issue if the document encoding is UTF-8.
